The cause and manner of death are pending investigation, Deputy Coroner Eric Hansen said in a news release.

Hamm, 20, died Sunday morning attempting a jump in the Makaha Park at about 11 a.m. Hamm was not wearing a helmet, an Aspen Skiing Co. spokesman said.

The jump is just under the Village Express lift, which was shut down for a period Sunday after the incident.

According to Hamm’s Facebook page, he was a cook at Lynn Britt Cabin, which is a restaurant on the mountain just above the terrain park. He was from Charlotte, North Carolina, and moved to Colorado in 2017.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
